Last year I rented a SUV in Bozeman for $40/day. This year it is $180. Look at flying into Billings, driving 90 mins to Bozeman with a stop on DePuy on the way. You can save $80 to $100/day on the car rental.
One day savings on the car rental pays for your rod fee on Depuy. I can always rationalize converting a savings into fishing.

Anyone traveling to Montana should plan some serious time driving as the scenery is amazing

#23I've never used Turo myself, but I have a brother who uses it all the time and it looks like they have cars available around Bozeman. I saw a Lexus GX 460 for $70/day, or you could splurge for the *gold* Maserati for $140/day! I have no idea how it works, but it might be worth looking into. -Nate

#24Try Turo a car sharing site. https://turo.com/ Plug in Bozeman for the destination and your time frame and up will come cars that folks will rent out. I have used them with good success. No financial interest.

#25It’s outrageous! I’m running into the same issue. $1,300 for a RAV4 in Bozeman for 8 days in June. Contemplating just driving but as the previous poster mentioned, it’s the time.

#28Guys, check Idaho Falls and it’s much closer than Billings. Not much further than Bozeman and the rentals appear reasonable. I did not look at how the flights compared though.
